      I know the Lambo Siesto Elemto had CF wheels. Maybe not entirely made of carbon??

      Wonder how these would hold up to potholes??? BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE?

        In the video they say that they will hold air better than aluminum rims after hitting potholes or curbs. Very strong rims supposedly

          So to put it into perspective, a 19x10 is 13lbs. An oem wheel from my car which is 18x7 is 29lbs. holy sh*t that is light.

                  Dymag wheels were CF barrels only with the centers still made in metal. I did get a quote for a set of them for my Dad's R8 once and it was around $10K for the wheels, and this would have been about 5 years ago.

                    Just don't get any curb rash. CF is notoriously difficult to repair.
